Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Don't the world seem lonesome, battlin' by yourself.
Don't the world seem lonesome, battlin' by yourself.
Yes, to think someone you love, has turned her back for someone else.

When my mother and dad left me, I was too small to help myself.
When my mother an' dad left me, I was too small to help myself.
And my sisters and brothers, they drove me away to somebody else.

So many nights and days, I tramped through the rain and snow.
So many nights and days, I tramped through the rain and snow.
I wanted to go back home, but I know I'm not wanted there no more.

It, what a lonesome life, when everything go wrong.
What a lonesome life, when you tryin' to carry on.
When you motherless and fatherless, and every friend you had begin to treat you wrong.

Rocks was my pillow, and the cold ground was by bed.
Rocks was my pillow, and the cold ground was by bed.
And the blue skies was my blanket, and the moonlight was my spread.
